Smart Snacking for a Healthy Gut, Brain, and Heart – Virtual Cooking Class

Healthy snacks are an important part of any nutrition plan. The right snack can help maintain steady energy levels, support brain function, and keep hunger in check between meals, keeping you focused and on track with your wellness goals.

Join us for a virtual cooking class where we’ll create simple and delicious anti-inflammatory snacks that not only satisfy your cravings but also nourish your gut, brain, and heart health. The class will open with a short presentation on the science behind snacks that help improve the connection between your gut microbiome and your heart and brain, and those foods that can negatively impact how you think, feel and sleep.

Then, step into your home kitchen and put this knowledge into action! Using whole food ingredients rich in fiber, probiotics, antioxidants, and omega-3s, we’ll prepare easy, flavorful snacks that help reduce inflammation, promote digestion, and support mental clarity.

All of the snacks we make will be easy to prepare, requiring just a few simple ingredients. You’ll leave the class with new ideas for delicious, satisfying snacks that nourish both your body and mind. The recipes, including ingredients and equipment needed, will be sent out at least one week before the class so you’ll have time to shop for ingredients in advance.

This class will be recorded and a one-week link to the recording will be shared with all registered participants. To receive incentive points, attend at least 80% of the live session or listen to the entire recording within one week.
